Author/Illustrator: Dan Devoe

Genre: Fantasy

Grade Level: K-2

The book starts off with a small sized blue whale that was very hungry. He decided to look for something to eat. He ate a pail and got a little bit bigger. He ate A, B, C in braille. He ate his own mail and got bigger. He tried to eat his own tail but couldn't and he remained the same size. He then ate many other things and just continually got bigger and bigger. He became the biggest whale ever and could not even swim. An anchor was near by and he tried to eat the anchor but the anchor got stuck in his mouth. The anchor hooked onto everything that the whale had eaten and pulled it all out and he was back to being a small whale. 

This book would definitely be used for a rhyming lesson. Even within the book there is small prompts asking students what else rhymes with certain words. 

The illustrations in this book are colorful and bold. There is a lot of white space to really make the colorful illustrations stand out. The left page is where the story is being told and is where most of the white space is.
